# Backup and Restore

Plakar Control Plane can back up its own configuration and data using the standard backup workflow. This allows you to recover from hardware failure, accidental misconfiguration, or a full appliance replacement.

This section covers:
- [Backing up Plakar Control Plane](./backup) using the UI
- [Restoring Plakar Control Plane](./restore) to a new appliance
